00:00Yeah, absolutely. And I mean, just to kind of put some of that in context, if you guys
00:06missed any parts of this game or more, and certainly those chunk plays by Jomar Chase,
00:11it was 11 receptions that got him to 264. So just the magnitude of the big plays that
00:16he was able to connect with Joe Burrow on. I mean, that's just what continues to solidify
00:21the argument that Joe Burrow is one of the best quarterbacks in the league. You and I
00:23were talking about it during the break, but kind of pivoting over to the Ravens for a
00:28moment, letting up 34 points, almost letting the Bengals back into this game, their offense.
00:32Yes. Exciting to watch Derrick Henry's role. He makes it count when it needs be finding
00:36the end zone for this team. But I mean, how far can this Ravens team really go if they're
00:40going to let in a Bengals team that doesn't have much of a defense 34 points in? I mean,
00:46you know, just looking back briefly over their summer games, I mean, 29 points, the Browns,
00:49they gave up 31 to the Bucs, 23 to the Commanders. They gave up 38 to the Bengals in the game
00:56on week five. They went to overtime, 25 to the Cowboys. They lost the Raiders, you know,
01:0126 points and 27 to the Chiefs. Like, you know, we always, everyone historically is
01:05talking about the Ravens have had a great defense for 20 years or whatever it's been.
01:08Like, this is the thing that's going to hold them back. There are times where if the, here's
01:14what it comes down to. If the Ravens offense is as inefficient as it was in the first half
01:21for a full game, they're going to lose games. That's what it comes down to. And so that's
01:24just simply variance, right? Lamar was stifled in the first half. So was Derrick Henry. They
01:28didn't get things going. If a team can hold them to that level for an entire game, teams are going
01:34to put 30 points and they're going to hold the Ravens to 10. So the defense is the main thing
01:39the Ravens have to figure out. Absolutely. Because a number of fans were kind of split
01:43decision when it came to whether or not to go for two and to try to take that win in overtime
01:48versus going for the two, knowing that, you know, they were going to try to be stout defensively.
01:53There was a number of penalties that went crazy. There's some questionable calls to close out this
01:56game, but there's still so much more for Tom Vacchio and myself to get into when it comes to
02:00the Ravens versus the Bengals. In case you missed it, Ravens come out on top, narrow escape 35 to
02:0534 and the narrow escape also being getting out of an overtime opportunity.
